Arranging a nested JSON array directly

Below is the structure of my JSON data :

Root
|- cells []
     |-Individual cells with the following
                         |- Facts (Object)
                         |- Measures (Object)
                                 |- Key value pairs
|- other values

My goal is to sort the values in the measures object in-place. Is this possible? If not, what would be the most efficient approach? One option could be to extract the values into a temporary array, sort them, and then rearrange the keys in the JSON structure. However, this doesn't seem like an optimized solution.

I am attempting to achieve sorting in the jsHypercube library : https://github.com/thesmart/js-hypercube . I have searched the library but couldn't find a built-in sort method.

Here is a sample JSON snapshot :

The desired output is a sorted array of _cells based on any key in the measures object, such as Cost, Profit, or Revenue.

Based on the feedback from @FelixKling, I believe the data should be sorted prior to serialization into a JavaScript Object. The initial data before serialization :

Answer №1

Thanks to the helpful suggestion from @FelixKling, I successfully implemented a code snippet to sort the data with ease. Sharing it here in case it proves useful to others.

tempCube.sort(function(a, b) {
        var valueA, valueB;        

        valueA = a.data.Price; 
        valueB = b.data.Price;
        if (valueA < valueB) {
            return -1;
        }
        else if (valueA > valueB) {
            return 1;
        }
        return 0;
    });
